As a mental health counselor specializing in women with ADHD, I know that your experience of navigating the world is entirely unique—and often completely exhausting. The standard approaches to ADHD have ignored the specific ways it manifests in females. My practice is dedicated to changing that narrative and providing a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood. In our work together, we will focus on three core pillars tailored to how your brain and body actually function: A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach, Hormonal Awareness and Masking/Imposter Syndrome. Together, we will transform your exhaustion into empowerment.

How are you doing? (No, really.) Maybe there hasn’t been a lot of space for you to know what you’re feeling or maybe to feel it all is too overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve had a recent life transition that’s left you scrambled, or maybe things have been feeling stuck for a while. It might be that you’ve been working tirelessly to be a “better version” of yourself and when you determine you’ve fallen short, you find yourself with an inner critic that blames, criticizes, or belittles you. If this sounds familiar, let’s talk!

Change is an amazing opportunity for growth. Whether the change is initiated by us or is unexpected, change is an opportunity to increase our self-awareness and grow towards realizing our best selves. Change is often challenging and can feel scary. Exploring how we react to change by following the thread of our reactive emotions, thinking and behaviors directs us to the strategies that will effectively set us on the path to self-discovery and empowerment.

For many years I struggled with shame and doubt about who I was, often feeling lost and hopeless. I would exercise my feelings through control or passivity in relations with others. It wasn't until I received help from a counselor that I started my journey of healing that lead to my discovery of an authentic self who could practice healthy relationships, acceptance, love, and feel worthy from the inside out. At that point I chose to become a Counselor so as to assist others in their journeys of self discovery.

Your relationship has ruptured; there's a chasm between you and your partner. You don't how it happened, but the distance is undeniable. You've done your best to reconnect, but nothing seems to work. Every time that you bring it up, it quickly escalates into the same argument. Each time, you walk away feeling even MORE confused, isolated and hopeless. On occasion, your conflict IS productive, but the changes don't last long and you're back to the same friction and miscommunication. You love your partner, but the "good old days" of your relationship seems to be a distant "rear view."

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We all face seasons of hardship, loss of career or loved ones, divorce, parenting struggles, trauma, or broken relationships, that can leave us weary and searching for hope. As a Christian counselor, I believe God’s promises bring light even in dark times. I walk with clients as they heal from abuse, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their identity in Christ. Others seek support in managing stress, improving relationships, and creating a life filled with peace, purpose, and hope.

I offer affirming care for neurodivergent, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
